FILM 488: Directing Actors for the Camera

MFA Directors from SCA and acting students from TTS explore unique challenges and opportunities of collaboration between film directors, cinematographers, and theater actors. As preparation for their thesis film, emphasis will be placed on collaboration, with the director facilitating the relationship between camera and performer along with visual storytelling, blocking, and onset logistical considerations. Through a series of in-class exercises students will rehearse and film scenes for 2 - 3 actors.
